So Manny's been with me three weeks today. Now he has an attitude and he pees/poops in the house. Not sure what the attitude is about and I ended up smacking him a few times because he scared me - thought he was going to bite me!! We're both working on it. Ruffio is definitely on defense mode. LOL!!
Took Manny to the dog park a few times - with no other dogs there. He likes sniffing around it.
Sandy's brother passed away on the 15th. I'm still in shock about it. He wasn't even sick then had lung cancer and died - all in the space of a few weeks.
Margaret and I went to Terrificon last Saturday and I got to meet Kirk (Kurt?) from the Gilmore Girls and Katrina Law - Nyssa Al Ghul from Arrow. SHE is amazing. Got my picture taken with both.
Tomorrow we are going to the horror fest. I don't think I know a single actor that will be there but we'll have fun.

Someone posted this on Facebook and it is me, plain and simple. Don't want to lose it:
I like misty autumn mornings,
And cold snowy winter nights.
Rainstorms bring me inner peace,
Thunder sets my soul alight.
I care not for summer, days -
Too long, the heavy heat.
Give me candlelight evenings,
Early darkness, a silent street.

Sandy's brother, Andy, up and died. I can't believe it still.They said he had lung cancer but it doesn't sound like he died from it. Scary. Wake is tomorrow night - he's been cremated. Poor guy.
Manny is so smart and getting better and better. He doesn't chase the cats as much but he still pees in the house during the night or if he's alone all day. Last night I think he was mad at me because he peed AND pooped in the kitchen only two hours or so after I took him out and he did both. He's too hyper for me to let him sleep with me and he wants to so bad. Plus the heat has been horrendous. So we'll see. I love him to death already and he is so protective of me.

Wow! What a long weekend, literally! Started out Friday morning - Sam and I went to the Ansonia Animal Shelter and got me a dog. Jeannie gave me her favorite - Manny. He's part pitt and part lab but looks all pitt. He's a good boy except for wanting to chase Ruffio around. He knows some commands and ignores others. But he's getting better every day.
Then I had to go for follow up stuff from the last kidney blast - whenever that was. I don't even remember. Then directly to Shelton to have a tooth pulled. After the holidays I'll be getting all but four top teeth pulled and they'll be making me a partial, ugh.
Saturday I went out with Sandy for a little bit. Her brother, Andy, is probably dying, poor guy. He has lung cancer and a heart thing and God knows what else.
Then I went up to Naugy and the girls stuffed my car with their stuff and we came back and they unpacked. They slept here last night.
Today I went to Mass and then Anthony called. He wanted me to meet him at the Farmer's Market so he could talk to Michelle. We did that. I brought Manny to the Green with me and he was a very good boy.
Then the girls and I went to Naugy again to get the rest of their stuff and Sam's cats. Came back and brought Collette to work. Then picked her up from work, went to Maxine's (the old bartender from the CWV and the Elks) to pick up a bed Sam bought from her.
Finally back home for the rest of the evening. I''m exhausted.
Hoping I don't have to make Manny stay in the kitchen tonight. Can't have him in my room at night because he either tries to go after Ruffio or he won't let me sleep. But today I laid down for a bit and after making him get off the bed a few times, he stayed down.
That's the only thing I have to really worry about - him and the cats. He doesn't seem to be chasing them in a mean way, but still.
Edited to add - I forgot to say that Sam said today is six years since she moved from our house to Naugatuck. Weird coincidence!

The concert tonight was awesome. Couldn't get any better. The Poprocks - which used to be Dereck and the Funbags, then That 80's Band, then That Band. Barbara Scarpa's best friend's band and now her boyfriend too. But they weren't there.
Carol, Anthony and Allen leave tomorrow. God only knows when I'll see them again. They won't miss me but I'll miss them very much.
Maybe they'll come back again. Maybe they won't. This time I think they're gone for the last time. :(
